RESTful architectures are a key driving force behind modern API first application design. This book focuses on the RAD Server framework included with RAD Studio (Delphi/C++Builder) for developing such platforms.

RAD Server is a full backend MEAP (Mobile Enterprise Application Platform) that enables Desktop, Mobile and Web frontend development in any language, and this book is designed as a definitive guide for developers.

The benefit of a MEAP is that you have a pre-built cloud or on-prem server with many core capabilities (such as push notifications, user tracking and analytics) that you can plug into rapidly to deliver remote database and functional access.

This guide to Embarcadero RAD Server, originally authored by David I (2019), is in its second edition, revised by Antonio Zapater (2023), which includes many additional features added based on market demand since RAD Servers Launch. The second edition is also supported by a comprehensive video series supporting each chapter, along with source code examples on GitHub. https://github.com/embarcadero/radserver-docs

This book will help you Code Faster in Delphi through a vast array of tips, tricks and hacks to squeeze every bit of productivity out of yourself and the Delphi IDE.

Don't touch that mouse! Hands on the keyboard, and eyes front. You're about to embark on a Bootcamp to tone your coding muscles, sharpen your shortcuts, fix forms faster, and accelerate your career as a Delphi Programmer.

Now drop and give me twenty lines of code and five laps of that while loop.

This book will help you Code Faster in Delphi through a vast array of tips, tricks and hacks to squeeze every bit of productivity out of yourself and the Delphi IDE.

This is a book all about writing Delphi code. It's not about the VCL or database access. It's just about how to use the language in the most effective way to write clean, testable, maintainable Delphi code. It covers a variety of powerful Delphi programming features and techniques including Generics, Interfaces, Exception Handling, Anonymous Methods, Collections, RTTI, Enumerators, Attributes, Dependency Injection and Unit Testing.

This book is all about the cool, new code you can write with Delphi. It won't matter whether you are building a VCL or an FM application. I've titled it "Coding in Delphi" because I want to make it a book that shows you simple examples of how to use powerful features -- that, is about the *code*. These language features are indeed advanced features -- they are new relative to, say, the `case` statement -- and thus many of you are beginners to them. By the end of this book, you won't be. What you will find are ways to make your code much cleaner, much more powerful, and way easier to maintain.

"More Coding in Delphi" picks up where "Coding in Delphi" left off, continuing to illustrate good, sound coding techniques including patterns, Aspect Oriented Programming and programming for the Parallel Programming Library.

Outline:

• Six Thoughts on Coding Before We Start
• Writing SOLID Code
• DuckTyping
• Aspect-oriented Programming
• Observer Pattern
• Adapter Pattern
• Decorator Pattern
• Command Pattern
• Factory Pattern
• Multi-Threading and Parallel Programming
• Things Nick Does in Code
• TSmiley
